The Legacy System

Certainly, his wishes were easier said than done, he knew this better than anyone. But he wasn't at a total disadvantage as he already had the foundations ready.

Furthermore, tonight he was intending to weed out all the opposition that his new organization might suffer in this city.

The biggest reason he had attacked Cui Xie's business was clearly to pull him out of his hiding and then cast his slave seal upon him.

But there was actually another reason why he did so in that obvious and open place. That was because he wanted to instigate those guys who were lowering their heads but harboring evil intentions.

Just think about it, what would these guys do if someone suddenly attacked Cui Xie's place, and then shortly after there was news of him dying.

They would clearly think that this was their golden chance and opportunity to take control of the city and would employ every means they had to do so.

When they had used everything they had against each other trying to separate the city, Cui Xie and his people would appear once again and weed them out in one fell swoop.

For that reason, the moment that he had dealt with everyone inside the room, Tianlong Yun threw a few more grenades inside and then used an Escape Talisman to take everyone outside.

If he wanted to make the death of Cui Xie and the others believable, he had to put up a nice show that wouldn't let anyone doubt.

The moment that they were outside, Eric immediately turned towards the still dizzy and shocked Cui Xie as he said,

"Tell your trusted people to spread the word that you are dead and then lay low for some time! When all the fish have taken the bait we will fish them out once and for all!

In the meantime, make me a list of all the assets and people of your organization, and all the big figures of the white world in the city.

After we are done fishing, we will take control of the white world as well! If you have anyone trustable and competent in leading you may tell me now!"

Cui Xie was caught unprepared and by surprise, as he didn't know what to think or how to answer for a few moments. Everything had happened too rushed and sudden, he was unable to keep up.

As he was lost in his thoughts and ideas, the old man beside him took the opportunity to speak,

"I know someone who might be the right person for the job! I will convince her to work for you, and help you out, but you will have to promise me something!"

"Oh~!? I didn't know that slaves had the right to ask for something in exchange for working for their Master! It seems like I am truly lacking!"

The old man was startled for a moment hearing that, but then he only released a loud sigh, and said,

"You don't! And I don't have the luxury to threaten you with my life, so look at that as this old man's request to serve you with all my will and being!"

"Oho~! Now, this is getting interesting! But what guarantee do you have that I will keep my word, even if I give it to you!?"

"None! But at least I have the hope that you might!"

"Very well then, you have my word! Now tell me what do you want me to do, and who is this person you are talking about!"

"I want you to help my Young Ma…, my previous Young Master to take revenge about the death of his parents, against the Ling family of Beijing!"

"Old Ma you…"

Cui Xie was unable to keep himself calm when he heard the old man's wish, but he didn't know what to say.

The truth was that if it weren't for this old man, he and his sister would already be deader than dead, with nowhere to go.

On the other hand, Eric seemed excited to hear that, as he immediately started laughing and said,

"Hhahahaha~! That's a good deal right there! Well, I have already given my word anyway, so it's not like I can pull back from this!

But that will depend on the skills of the person that you will recommend old man, he or she better be good!"

There were three reasons why Eric accepted something like this so easily, and with a great laugh at that.

First, the Ling family of Beijing was already his target after he received the dimensional pocket, Nightless Stone City, and everything inside.

Second, even though it would still take some time, S-day would eventually happen, and there was a high chance that he wouldn't need to make a move, as the Ling Family would suffer on its own.

Third, last but not least, in every world, in every civilization, strong and powerful people rose amidst blood and steel.

Just like every other powerhouse that wanted to climb the ladder, he would need to have a few stepping stones, that would not only help him get higher but also fill his pockets.

The old man had no idea about these reasons though, as he was thinking more about his request, and the person he was going to recommend as he said,

"As for the person that I will introduce to you, you don't have to worry, not only is she extremely capable but also fully trustable, as she is none other than Young Ma…, ex-Young Master Cui Xie's little sister.

While she is living under a different identity and is only in her last year of University for Finance and Management, she is a natural talent!

I am sure that she will surprise you!"

"Oh, really!? What about her looks then?"

"Huh, her looks!?"

"Certainly, perhaps you don't know about this but I am a man that loves beauties! Most probably in the near future, she will become mine if she is any good!"

"That… That doesn't seem really appropriate, does it?"

"And you asking me to go against one of the giant families of Beijing is appropriate? You should know better than me that there is no free lunch in this world old man.

As for your full willing service to me, do you truly think that it's worth that much?"

The old man didn't say anything, but it was clear in his expression, that he truly thought so.

In his mind, and heart if it wasn't for Eric using some underhanded tricks, it was impossible for something like this to happen to him, and his Young Master.

To someone like Eric, that expression was as clear as the sunny sky on a beautiful summer day, so he chuckled and said,

"Hhaha~! It seems like you truly think so! Very well then, let me show you how much you are worth to me!"

With that said, he just needed one thought to send everyone else, including the short fatty at a safe distance away from him and the old man, as he looked towards him and said in a loud and clear voice,

"Fight without holding back!"

It wasn't just an invitation, but also an order on the old man's slave seal. With that, he would truly fight with everything he had.

Everyone around them had different thoughts, and expressions, as they didn't know what to make of this.

The first thought crossing their head was that Eric was just a lunatic seeking his own death, but he didn't seem like one.

But if that thought was crossed away then the only left option was that he truly believed that he was capable of winning this battle, which clearly seemed even more impossible.

They didn't have much time to think about it though, as the next moment the old man had jumped forward and was attacking Eric with an open palm.

One didn't need to even look at it, as the pressure and impact on the surroundings were more than enough to testify its strength and power.

Still, even in front of that attack, Eric seemed to be completely calm and collected, like it wasn't much of an attack.

It was only when the old man was in his close-quarters combat area that he finally made his move and sent a palm to meet the upcoming palm.

Different from the old man's attack, Eric's attack looked extremely simple and ordinary. Without any strength, pressure, or impact behind or around it.

It truly looked like he had given up on his life and was actually accepting his death. Even the old man seemed to be quite surprised at his actions and movements.

In the old man's heart and mind he should be the winner, but then why the hell was his danger instincts ringing like some kind of alarm clock.

What the hell was that aura of desperation around him, that made him feel overwhelmed, and overpowered.

Just what the hell was going on there?

'Bannggggggg…, Cracckkkkk…, Craccckkkk, Booooooommmmm…'

The next moment, loud sounds of a titanic clash, and broken bones started ringing all over the place, while a big cloud of dust and debris was raised around the spot of the clash.

No one was able to see or sense what the hell was going there due to the disruptions in the Qi and environment.

It took them a whole 30 seconds for the dust and debris to finally calm down, and fall on their place, for the results to become visible.

It was a good thing that all this happened in the mountains around the city, and no one should have witnessed this, otherwise, they would have been blown out of their minds…
